       Re: Dreams
       By: Ashes Date: December 14, 2020, 9:02 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning October 1st - another Jurassic dream, this time a
       Jurassic World film. There was some sequence with Mosasaurs and
       stuff that I was rewinding (I think to, like, have it play out
       better?), and then there was a trailer (vehicle) with a
       possibly-sapient Dilophosaurus inside and some tense scene
       playing out. Then I was in the bedroom, I think my brother's
       chest of drawers were between our beds, and I found some big art
       along with some Lightning Collection and Energon figure stuff as
       reference. I got out of bed and my aunt's dog was in the house;
       then she was there with one of my cousins, and she needed a
       phone charger which I managed to dig out. Then I had an old
       phone that was playing Super Mario World music.
       Early morning October 3rd - not sure on the first bit, my notes
       just saying "moving around houses" (I think maybe going from one
       house to another via internal doors?) and about a cousin and her
       dog (maybe or maybe not the one she now has). There was stuff I
       don't recall, a bit in school (but again, with hospital
       elements), and then there was warning that a meteor impact was
       imminent. I headed outside and attempted to prepare in some
       fashion, but then it was the aftermath and... I'm not sure if
       I'd survived, or become an animal, or was just seeing things as
       an animal... but, err, there were talking animals all the
       same... I (or "I") found my phone and was attempting to
       reactivate it. There was a little more that I forgot... Also, a
       bit with me and Mayro heading to some place while social
       distancing.
       Early morning October 4th - stuff at my old school. Was in the
       library, a friend was there, and... he or I was interviewing a
       woman, not sure... or she was interviewing one of us...? Then I
       went to my next lesson, which was in the History and Science
       block but it was a cooking lesson and I was unsure why I'd
       chosen the subject...
       Early morning October 5th - not sure other than that there were
       three segments
       Early morning October 6th - also not sure
       Morning October 6th - hazy, but something involving Tesco and
       something involving Molly from Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.
       The rest is totally gone.
       Early morning October 7th - I found (I think in my collection?)
       a Lightning Collection In Space Blue, but it was a metallic
       version.
       Early morning October 8th - a big one! Was at some kind of
       school or academy, and had just finished a lesson... I think it
       was more like when somebody would visit school and host a
       special class... I was heading out through huge hallways, and
       once I got outside, there were MHA characters as well as a
       cartoon rabbit. A fight broke out, somebody who may have been
       Atsushi from Bungou Stray Dogs enduring a shockwave, and I
       realised this was a dub... Then I was back inside in a
       first-floor room or higher, somebody (a sort of fusion of Osamu
       and Chuuya from BSD) was in a bed and I spoke with them and
       called them Senor. I went to leave but others entered and then I
       was playing along as a character. Eventually I left, and started
       wandering around: there were now regular-sized corridors, with
       shows being filmed in every room and multiple floors as I made
       my way down. Eventually, I had to head through a house set in
       which Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox-Arquette were filming,
       and which had a pseudo-mezzanine bit (it was essentially a
       sitcom set). I wound up joining in, my character and Aniston's
       had chemistry, and there was a ball-pit in the mezzanine area.
       Early morning October 10th - forgotten
       Early morning October 11th - something involving bed, Mum, an
       online friend, a video, pictures of girls and... whatever...
       Early morning October 12th - I believe I went to the GP surgery
       with Mum, got called into the side area part (which I don't
       normally go to), and wound up hitting myself and then Mum was
       bothering me.
       Morning October 12th - was watching some Star Wars thing, which
       showed a younger reddish/pinkish Yoda trying to reanimate/revive
       (the body of) his lost love, with other aliens appearing and him
       changing colour (essentially an origin story for him I guess).
       Then there were clips of Queen Amidala saying "touch me", and I
       mentioned the fact about Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley
       looking so similar that their mothers got them mixed up on the
       set of Episode I. Mum was surprised by this. Then another show
       was on, and I spotted some X-Men Marvel Legends figures. There
       was a closer shot of them and then they got damaged, which had
       me unsettled. Then... not sure if I was there in the location on
       TV, but I checked over a Lightning Collection MMPR Yellow and
       found a tear in her arm like with my Digivolving Spirits
       Diablomon... may have also been a bit involving old
       classmates...?
       Morning October 13th - not sure on the precise order of events
       for some of these... began with me living with a couple of my
       female Performing Arts classmates, and I was cooking fried
       potatoes and chicken goujons while... I think the girls were
       going to be heading out. They instead surprised me, basically
       bringing me to the floor with something about both of them
       sleeping with me so I finally had the experience. One of them
       had a large derriere, which I comedically acted distracted by.
       There was also stuff with some blood-sucking bugs flying in and
       entering the living room; I scolded the girls for having left
       the window open, and then there was stuff on TV while I was
       trying to splat the female bugs (presumably they were the
       blood-sucking ones, like with mosquitos which they may have been
       anyway). The cooking bit may have actually been here, so...
       Lastly, I was outside with an old friend (the one from the Oct
       4th dream), it was night and we headed up some stairs to the
       entrance of a building we were staying in. A crying Spanish girl
       was there, who looked a little like an old crush of mine: we
       talked with her and entered the building, at which point my
       friend introduced himself with my surname (as though it were his
       first name), while I decided not to play along and just used my
       actual name.
       Early morning October 14th - began in Tesco's car park, where
       Nessa and Dave from Gavin and Stacey were in a van. Then... not
       sure on this but something about big bugs that were being
       splatted, and some raw meat... inside, I got involved in some
       kind of racing track thing in a kind of tiny Roman coliseum.
       Afterwards I got taken "backstage" and met a man based on one of
       my Primary school head teachers. There was talk about writing,
       and a large girl was there who wrote fanfiction. More stuff that
       I forgot...
       Early morning October 15th - began at the local precinct, where
       I took an old man in a wheelchair into a tattoo parlour. A young
       man (possibly gay) was his tattooist, and I took his top off
       while the tattooist made him feel comfortable. The tattoo was
       then being designed, and I was sort-of helping (like,
       half-heartedly or distractedly, I think), before heading deeper
       into the parlour. There was some kind of American high school
       play or musical being shown, and one of my old Drama teachers
       was telling me that the head boy and girl are always cast as the
       leads in these and that's how many big stars started off,
       including Geena Davis (who I recall was one of her favourite
       actors). This segued into me sneaking into some kind of science
       lab via waterways, possibly with a Mosasaur there, obtaining DNA
       vials and eventually winding up in the bedroom.
       Early morning October 16th - noooo iiiideeeaaaaa-
       Early morning October 17th - I was dating Hitagi, and we were
       having a date at... maybe a diner, or a restaurant in a
       theme-park? Some of my aunts showed up, with at least one of
       them seemingly not approving of our relationship, and Hitagi
       spoke to them about it. Possibly more that escaped me.
       Early morning October 18th - all I recall is "weird Chase
       thing"...
       Morning October 18th - I got up to find Dad rearranging stuff,
       and when I went to the bathroom, there was wrapping paper and
       ribbons everywhere. Dad needed my help with stuff, and then we
       watched Mum in court on TV. She was there due to a minor car
       bump, and we got to see multiple angles like a drama.
       Morning October 19th - only vaguely recall... it began
       innocuously enough, with me rearranging stuff in the bedroom
       (which was altered in some fashion) while listening to music...
       then there was some kind of final battle thing going on in some
       huge but narrow valley, with Ultimate Madoka and Akuma Homura
       having fallen in the conflict. Wish I remembered more because it
       was pretty darn cool.
       Early morning October 21st - not sure on the order of all of
       this, but there was Beast Wars stuff showing on the bedroom TV
       (which was small, probably our older one), LEGO sets of some
       kind, driving around possibly to go to Toys'R'Us, a car park,
       stuff I don't really recall, Dad possibly getting annoyed, and
       watching Christmas TV with only one of the cats for company.
       Early morning October 22nd - main part had Dad and somebody else
       (either my brother or a girl) waiting for me in the car. I was
       getting my iPod, but Dad got annoyed and left without me. Then
       there was an argument between him and me indoors, with him
       slagging off my "Gundam music" and me briefly attacking his
       taste in music too, only to quickly retract that. He then
       mentioned a Suede song called Tom. Was also a bit either on
       holiday or at Nan and Grandpa's, possibly involving trying to
       shoo a fly out of the kitchen?
       Morning October 22nd - I got up from bed and went to the
       bathroom only to... I think accidentally sh!t on my underwear. I
       wound up going back to bed. Was also part with me talking to an
       online friend on the dumb chat site on which we met. We were
       planning an RP, and he'd written some books or something? More I
       forgot...
       Early morning October 23rd - began with stuff at school, and I
       either was or was roleplaying as Deku (at last!). There was an
       attempt to prank me, then I was in the area where our local
       cinema is and fake walls were making it difficult for me to
       leave. I wound up leaving via a car, but was taken to an arcade
       or something which is where the real prank was set to begin.
       Then there was a part back at school, with a classroom more like
       one of my Primary ones. It was the end of my last-ever lesson,
       and was everybody left, I was trying to gather up and pack boxes
       of figures and toys. A classmate helped me but then he and the
       others had all left. I wound up talking with a guy from a lower
       year group in another (empty) classroom, and he mentioned an MHA
       video game and "Lapriboost", i.e. Mirko. I then told him her
       "sub name" (that is, that Lapriboost was her dub name). I wound
       up looking out of the window - we were very high up - and
       spotted Mum, calling out to her for help. A couple of girls
       recognised me for the Deku stuff from before.
       Morning October 23rd - I was in bed, with an old mobile phone
       for my alarm which I was struggling to use. There were
       cosplayers outside, and then when I got up, I noticed MMPR
       Dragon-shield Black on my shelf, which I was unsure about. My
       Dad's friends were here, and I asked if anybody needed to use
       the bathroom before I went in to bath. One of the friends then
       noticed the cosplayers, with some of them (kids) coming up to
       the window and him disapprovingly shooing them off. There was
       talk about cosplay (and crossplay), and then Alan Carr was there
       (I think) while I tried to go to the bathroom. I then went to
       the bedroom, and looked at my displays, and, uhm, "door thing".
       Then my brother appeared, with Jimmy Carr, who made some kind of
       gag either about my being in just my boxers or about my
       collection before we shared a greeting. We went back to the
       living room and chatted - basically, this was a thing where
       comedians would go to people's houses to test out material.
       There was then - I think here, anyway - a separate bit with me
       sat in a car parked up in a city street... I feel there may have
       been a South Asian comedian here, rings a faint bell but it's
       not in my notes... then there was some kind of mall that was an
       altered take on the living room, some thieves that left after
       having gone around taking stuff from people, and then a naked
       comedy duo appeared and acted out some kind of
       woman-giving-birth skit.
       Early morning October 25th - began at what was supposed to be my
       cousin's but was actually an altered version of my uncle's... I
       was exploring all the rooms, and found those of her daughters as
       well as the master bedroom and a spare one. Everybody else
       showed up, we were in the living room and it was possibly
       Christmas, and then I was asking my cousin's husband about
       Doctor Who (namely if they'd all been watching and their
       thoughts). I then woke up briefly and fell back to sleep. Next
       bit of dream was an old Simpsons episode... details hazy but
       Mayor Quimby was involved. Then I was in the garden, talking
       with somebody who wasn't a childhood friend about said friend,
       before preparing to leave for some kind of army thing... though
       I wasn't particularly prepared. Other people were getting onto
       the coach to leave (right outside my place, of course), while I
       was rushing around trying to get stuff ready, and attempting to
       send farewell messages on Discord while the computer was running
       frustratingly slow.
       Early morning October 26th - began with us taking in a new cat,
       which was our fourth (so our real two and another dream one)...
       and then also adopting a young boy (maybe 5 or 6?). Then we were
       in the garden, the new cat had a flea, and a childhood friend
       was there and we talked about Mario 35 and compared it with
       Super Mario Maker. Finally, I woke up another day and found the
       boy was on the computer. I let him continue on there, putting on
       the TV instead. Then somebody knocked at the door, and I
       basically used this as an example for the kid to see how to
       politely turn somebody away.
       Morning October 26th - a mix of bits and I'm not sure how they
       all fit together... one part was the Twelfth Doctor figuring out
       some stuff, while Clara went on to call him out for having
       researched stuff on her mother behind her back. Another had
       Vastra meeting Strax in a pub, with him wearing the Eleventh
       Doctor's purple outfit and her carrying some kind of guide book.
       And there was something with me bumping into a Primary classmate
       and she'd been in court or something?
       Early morning October 27th - went to the theatre with Mum, there
       was an advert or trailer for a film or play about Homura... and
       more I forget.
       Early morning October 28th - forgotten...
       Early morning October 29th - was at Nan and Grandpa's, I had
       long hairs on my neck which I was trimming, then Mum showed up
       and there was possibly some kind of TV and/or gaming thing...
       Early morning October 30th - a wasp in the car, some scene a
       little like "awobabobob" from The Inbetweeners 2, and more that
       I forgot after waking.
       Early morning October 31st - noooo clue...
       And finally, I remembered this, then forgot it, then remembered
       again too late to be sure of what date this was. Could've been
       28th, or 24th and I simply forgot I'd had a dream then at all...
       We were on a family holiday at some kind of coastal resort, I
       was at some kind of outdoor restaurant place and stole some kind
       of shiny object. Then there was a Ricky Gervais bit, possibly
       in-character as David Brent, with him leaving a location and
       heading into a forest. A confrontation occurred, with Mattie
       from Humans there (and visibly pregnant) and a villain of some
       sort who rounded up the (apparent) protagonists and was taking
       them to the resort.
       A.

       By: Ashes Date: December 21, 2020, 9:46 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning/Morning November 1st - not sure where the lines
       are drawn... one part had me getting up and... either
       accidentally sh!tting on the toilet or just finding excrement on
       it... I was cleaning it up, and err, then I have "covered bit"
       and "Dad sample" so I'm thinking maybe it was Dad's and it had
       been from a stool sample container? Write clearer notes in the
       future, me... Was also a bit with me on Discord talking with
       somebody from a server about Kamen Rider stuff. And... possibly
       either that computer bit or a separate one could've been the
       initial dream before briefly waking?
       Early morning November 2nd - one part had a load of female
       Rangers (I no longer recall where... either in some episode or
       special, or just walking around), and one of them was Ashley
       only she was either in the wrong costume or just not right in
       some fashion. Another part had my family as a new family in
       EastEnders, and we were walking around an alternate version of
       the local lake when Mick Carter attempted to jump into the lake.
       Dad and I caught him and dragged him back before he could, and
       then we (perhaps without Mick, not sure) were walking through
       hospital corridors... may have also been more.
       Early morning November 3rd - there was some kind of Dark of the
       Moon-style Decepticon invasion going on, and yet for whatever
       reason I headed out to the garden. I wound up hiding behind(/by)
       the shed as a Decepticon stalked around, and as I tried to sneak
       back to the house, I got spotted and had to leg it back in. Then
       I was in the bedroom, where the bunkbeds were up and I had a
       supposed MMPR Black with Dragon Shield only he lacked the
       shield, instead sporting golden chest diamonds. One of my aunts
       was there, and she put a CD on, playing a piano version of What
       Can I Do by The Corrs, followed by an alternate version of
       Runaway. Some of my other relatives were in the living room.
       Then it was evening and a Taskmaster thing was going on in the
       bedroom: I was taking part along with some old classmates, and
       we were given the task to "say something a hairdresser or barber
       would say in another accent". I sat on my bed thinking what I'd
       say, while another person did a Scouse accent or something along
       those lines. I then felt under pressure, and figured it had to
       be something hard to guess... but I didn't want to do South
       African as one of the classmates had grown up there and I would
       invariably look silly doing it in front of her (plus it'd
       probably be easy to guess). Still, with no better option, I
       wound up using a South African accent, with the line "you can
       only take off so much hair"... realising immediately after that
       it would've been funnier if I added "madam" at the end.
       Early morning November 5th - set at school, seemingly my early
       years there (most of my school dreams tend to be Sixth Form, but
       this was probably Year 7 or 8 ). I was having some kind of issue
       with bag (it was broken or I had the wrong one), the Languages
       block was weird in some fashion (I don't recall, sadly), there
       was part at the library with the librarian possibly annoyed...
       and, again, I think more that I forgot after waking.
       Early morning November 7th - speaking of forgetting after
       waking...
       Early morning November 8th - Family Guy, but with Steve from
       American Dad in Chris' stead: they were in a different house,
       live-action and sort of like a holiday resort. I couldn't recall
       Steve's name, and then he got called out (like, generally, for
       his personality or what-have-you). Was another bit I can't
       recall.
       Early morning/Morning November 9th - began with some kind of
       alternate version of Friends and me talking with Mike Hannigan
       with gags that I forgot, before I was shopping in a place like
       Asda and bumped into an old friend. After using the checkouts, I
       returned home... but then I was at the local precinct instead,
       and went into Iceland. A couple of young girls were there, at
       least one of them wearing short shorts and trying to get my
       attention. I paid them no mind, but after I left, a police
       officer approached me as the girls had spoken to him. I told
       them what actually happened and the officer had the girls
       apologise. I returned home, and caught two fleas, heading to the
       bathroom to get rid of them only to find the light didn't work.
       It turned out the power was off. Then I was in the bedroom, and
       a Simpsons episode was playing with some kind of recurring
       line/gag from I believe Apu. Dad and Grandpa were in the living
       room, with Grandpa talking about the TV. An episode of The Chase
       was playing, only the contestants and Chasers were in the
       opposite places. There was a terrible contestant playing, and
       two Chasers, one of whom looked like the "555-come-on-now" meme
       guy.
       Early morning November 10th - we were sitting at the garden
       table and I played Tim Minchin's Inflatable You on the iPad. I
       also have the note "Dad sitting down at the end"-
       Early morning/Morning November 11th - one part had a car advert
       with a father and daughter rushing to get into their car while
       the city around them falls to chaos. The original version had at
       least one dying but they managed to get away here. Another part
       was a PTW chapter with the gang camping at night, sat by a
       campfire and chatting. This led to a bit with driving at night,
       in an alternate take on one of the local roads and Kendal being
       all excited. Was also something with my shelves/displays but I
       can't really remember...
       Early morning November 12th - this one's desperately hazy... all
       I really recall is being in a street, possibly for some kind of
       lesson, and two or three ladies walked through. I started
       chatting with them, went up to the window of a building (like,
       first floor, there was a wheelchair ramp-type thing going up
       there) and Professor X leant out, showing disapproval, so I
       retreated.
       Early morning November 13th - first bit was some kind of
       Inbetweeners thing, with them at university, though one of my
       notes says "classmates" and I'm not sure on that... there were
       some books or magazines on a board on the wall and we(/they)
       were discussing them... was also a playground bit that may have
       involved an old friend/classmate. The other bit began with me in
       a room in a building where a city model was being altered, which
       I think was altering the actual city too. I questioned "what
       about Hiden Tower?", and then found myself going up a sort of...
       escalator/steep road, taking me to a place above the city where
       Hiden Tower was. An automated Metal Clusterhopper greeted me at
       the foot of the tower, and I believe other Zero-One suits were
       also around. I wandered around the tower, which was like a
       castle inside (brick-built with open windows). Apparently I was
       a former Rider myself. A villain possibly appeared and there was
       a... "Yodonna-like confrontation" apparently... A tape measure
       was pushed from the window, but despite earlier appearances, we
       were on the ground floor so it barely had any distance to fall
       to reach the ground.
       Early morning November 14th - there was some kind of EastEnders
       press conference in a forest area, and I claimed to be the actor
       who plays Peter Beale (and was believed). Then I was home and
       had a big argument with Dad. Details there hazy.
       Early morning November 15th - forgotten...
       Early morning November 16th - also forgotten...
       Early morning November 17th - began with a Musics dream, with me
       getting songs in the wrong categories (I think I'd sorted out
       the list, just put things in the wrong places?), and it was
       possibly also still light out...? Also part where we were
       looking after my cousin and her family's cats (they don't have
       cats in reality), and at night, the daughters showed up (I think
       with a new cat or something...?) I began preparing the bedroom
       for them to sleep, but the eldest wound up falling asleep in the
       living room.
       Early morning/Morning November 18th - various attempts at
       getting up within the dream(s)... at least one had Dad being
       moany (what's new?)... another had me doing my hair in the
       living room when the son of one of Dad's friends showing up
       along with a fictitious girl who I knew in the dream. Then... I
       think I (or they) was(/were) trying to flip through TV channels,
       there was an anime on, and then all the channels were kids
       channels and there were seemingly multiple LEGO shows on...
       Early morning November 19th - no clue...
       Early morning November 20th - an old friend and that one
       d!ckhead guy taking part in Taskmaster along with me in the
       garden.
       Early morning November 21st - one part with me rearranging my
       standing shelves, or at least preparing to, only to notice one
       of them was wonky and aiming to fix it. Another was at my old
       school, with it having snowed, Grand POOBear being there, and
       some kind of tall slope that people were people were rolling
       snowballs down... I attempted it but was disqualified for having
       had an actual ball inside my snowball to help it stay together.
       Morning November 21st - one of those shifting ones... began at
       some family get-together (at an alternate version of Nan and
       Grandpa's), with me playing a platformer on the SP while a
       cousin watched. It was a Tom and Jerry game, and this level was
       a leftwards fast auto-scrolling level. I was playing as Jerry,
       and at one point there was a huge jump which the barrier of the
       auto-scroll seemed to help carry me over. Then it was at school,
       in a classroom, and some booklets were handed out to us (I
       noticed some bare feet in one image in it) and that was the end
       of the lesson. Students began heading out, and I noticed some
       other bags still there. Some girls from the year below showed
       up... can't recall if it was their bags or they had a lesson in
       there next... I headed downstairs, noting an odd number of steps
       IIRC... it was set up as the Science block but then transitioned
       into Languages... Once I reached the ground floor (outside the
       Drama Studio), a group of younger boys with their faces obscured
       were there, seemingly about to be d!cks. Thankfully, they didn't
       act like that after all. One of them had a sticker of either
       Catra or her future kid and he headed outside with me...
       everything was different, and we walked around the school
       perimeter to leave, through or past suburban areas and a car
       park to the point where it was barely even reminiscent of a (or
       indeed the) school at all. We wound up encountering... other
       classmates of mine...?
       Early morning/Morning November 22nd - Dad was around, then my
       aunt and cousin came in and we hugged, and they asked where Dad
       was but he was in another room now... and, err, more that I
       managed to forget...
       Early morning November 23rd - was in a car with an old friend
       (the one who's already appeared in two of these dreams) and an
       incorrect take on his Mum: we went to a retail park, got out and
       went into one of the shops. Then we returned to my drive, she
       parked the car up at the garages and then we went to another car
       to drive off again... I realised I'd forgotten my iPod but was
       told not to worry about it. Also, I think some kind of
       Taskmaster bit...
       Early morning November 24th - no clue if I even had a dream...
       Early morning November 25th - began with me noticing a big flea
       on my arm while I was drinking. Then there were loads of birds
       in the garden, including these shoebill-like ones. There was a
       girl on the doorstep who looked like or was Dafne Keen, and she
       was accompanied by an alternate version of my cousin's younger
       daughter (as though Dafne was in place of the older daughter).
       They entered. More may have happened, not sure.
       Early morning/Morning November 26th - began at Nan and
       Grandpa's, though here it was my other Nan's; I was playing some
       kind of LEGO video game, only things went wrong and I got
       annoyed. One of my aunts was there and got catty, and went to
       whisper something about me to Mum. I listened in, and then
       responded with a "takes one to know one"-type quip back. Nan was
       building a large LEGO or Duplo castle or something like that.
       Another part was us (including Nan) at a crowded New Year's Eve
       celebration seemingly in the town where Nan lived. We briefly
       lost Nan before finding her again, and then spotted my brother's
       ex and joined her. Then we were back home, I was... either going
       between or in a mix of the bedroom, living room and study,
       browsing an X-Men or general Marvel site where I found an
       article about Jean Grey's feet. There was a similar article
       about a hero called something like Feet-Tigress. It was minutes
       to midnight now (still NYE) and I was rushing to try and save
       things, only for the computer to die. I rebooted it and
       everything was still up; I then noticed it was further from
       midnight than I thought, and proceeded to try and find the Jean
       article again.
       Early morning November 27th - school, I think another thing
       where I was a younger student... started off in this one small
       block/building (was originally Maths, then turned into the R.S.
       department), with me and that same old friend heading out and
       wandering around. We went into the main hall, there was an
       assembly of some kind, and then I went through one of the other
       doors out to where the Music department was an found a boy-band.
       I feel this was meant to be the early 90s? Also may have been
       something about an alien...
       Early morning/Morning November 28th - not sure on the order
       here... one part had me doing Musics only to forget Outside, and
       deciding to do this in Category 2 instead (also may have been in
       the bedroom during this). Another involved Mum sharing a song
       she liked, which was an Evanescence track: I learnt there was a
       whole new album I was unaware of, and managed to get
       immediately. It had a faint image of Amy Lee on the album cover,
       which was a bluish colour. I began listening to it, while also
       learning I had somehow missed tracks on the self-titled album
       and Synthesis, too. Lastly, part where I was in the bath or at
       least the bathroom, and had various Kingdom figures still
       in-packaging including Optimus Primal and a mechanical shoebill
       bot packaged in beast mode. Maaaay have also been something to
       do with the His Dark Materials trilogy (books)...?
       Early morning November 29th - I was taking part in a new
       Taskmaster Champion of Champions special, which had the winners
       and runners-up from all ten series. The house was a cross
       between mine and the one we used to go to when I was little to
       look after the owners' dogs... I wandered around and wound up in
       the garden, where another couple of competitors and I took part
       in a task. Then I was indoors, in basically Mum and Dad's room,
       watching from the window... not sure if they were with me or in
       the garden, but Sara Pascoe, Ed Gamble and possibly Romesh
       Ranganathan were there. After that, we were in the living room
       (I think in the evening?) and Jimmy Carr was also there. At
       night, I was picking up stuff in the garden, before going to the
       bathroom and looking in the mirror, noting to myself that nobody
       (in the audience) knows me... despite the fact I'd clearly been
       a winner or runner-up on a previous series...
       Early morning November 30th - again, iffy on the order here. Mum
       drove me to school, heading through town, and then I headed out
       and went into a building (I think at the roof, or near it?)
       where a news report was going on. An alarm going off interrupted
       them, and they handed over before I helped recover something or
       somebody and we all got out... Then I was back home, and headed
       to my actual school, leaving via the front door and walking
       while knowing I was running late. I arrived and headed to my
       form room.

       By: Ashes Date: December 28, 2020, 8:36 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning December 1st - only thing I can (somewhat) recall
       is there possibly being something to do with music channels...
       Early morning December 2nd - first bit was... sort of at the
       local precinct, parked up right at one end. I was doing Musics
       on an old MP3 player, and could only see so many songs: I was
       trying to do it on-the-fly, and wound up with gaps and me
       messing up. Dad then appeared, and I think it was at this point
       that it transitioned to Nan and Granddad's old (local) house's
       living room, with Antiques Roadshow on the TV and some Koyomi
       and Mayoi art. Probably more I forget.
       Early morning December 3rd - was taking part in Taskmaster, only
       it was occurring in my old school's library. One task had us
       running around to gather items. I got five points for the round,
       and then the final task was 1 vs. 1. Again, I think more that
       escapes me.
       Early morning December 4th - not really sure how this began,
       stuff either at school or at some kind of nature place...? Then
       I was at a place like the local lake, and crossed over a rickety
       bridge. I wound up in some town in the 1950s or 1960s, and lived
       there for a while. Some stuff pertaining to the royal family
       occurred... may have been some kind of Doctor Who connection,
       not certain.
       Early morning/Morning December 6th - Mum and Dad were away, and
       my brother, his ex and I were at some place... either a shopping
       centre or an airport... eating KFC though I recall it tasted
       different, so hey, may have been some other fried chicken
       place... Then we were back home, possibly cooking, before it was
       night. I was sleeping in the living room, pondering having some
       personal time, but then I fell asleep for a while before getting
       up and going to the kitchen to sort stuff out. Mum and Dad
       returned at that point. May have also been something to do with
       a huge house, not sure.
       Early morning December 7th - was home alone, possibly doing
       Musics (during the day), when I went into the bathroom and found
       Stephen Merchant outside the window. I wasn't fully dressed, so
       I rushed back to the bedroom to dress, only he couldn't wait for
       me. I watched him walk back up the garden, and he was wearing a
       black suit and bowler(?) hat and walking with a cane. Then the
       puzzle I ordered my family for Christmas arrived, and my brother
       and a friend of his (non-specific) showed up so I went to open
       it in the bedroom. Again, I think more I forgot...
       Early morning December 8th - ... I don't even know with this
       one... some cartoon boys who were muddy and otherwise naked,
       four leant over, another four... d-dug in, as though entranced
       by the display, and the leaning four were there with their arms
       dangling. Possibly more, I hope unrelated to this because I
       can't fathom why my brain conjured this.
       Early morning December 9th - there was some kind of MHA
       performance... possibly an initial bit involving entering the
       fair or event where it was being put on... I was watching with
       the friend who's seen both films with me. Deku did some kind of
       dance, then Ochaco grabbed his hand(s) and either made him float
       or they both floated... I had to explain her Quirk to my friend.
       I think Katsuki also did something, and there may have been a
       DeviantArt element to this part...? (I think that's what "DA"
       stands for here...) Another part began with driving around at
       night, then me on the computer, listening to What You Want and
       using MoonPig. Mum came in and I had to navigate away from the
       MoonPig page. As ever, probably more I lost.
       Early morning December 10th - no clue...
       Early morning December 11th - hazy, but it began in my school's
       secondary Drama Studio and involved the end of the world (or at
       least of something big). Was also stuff with two Hitler Youth
       boys who wound up finding themselves in the present, and they
       were also in love with each other... again, not sure on the
       details, I recall them heading through a forest at one point
       but...
       Early morning December 12th - only bit I recall began with some
       kind of presentation, with Bradley Walsh talking about old
       Doctors and trying to do an impression. Then there was footage
       (in black-and-white) of an incarnation played by Tommy Cooper,
       which was followed up by Chibnall era clips. Tosin Cole actually
       displayed reasonable acting for once in these.
       Early morning December 13th - again, forgot if I did.
       Early morning December 14th - was set at a theme park. Main part
       I remember is being Koushiro and going on some big
       helter-skelter-like thing, racing down on a constant right-wards
       corkscrew. Were other parts of the theme park, including
       possibly a feet-related thing, but I don't really remember.
       Early morning December 15th - forgotten...
       Early morning December 16th - I remember it was in two parts as
       I was woken briefly by my brother watching videos, but I have no
       memory of the content.
       Early morning December 17th - and for the third day in a row-
       Early morning December 18th - again, I think I've forgotten a
       lot here... possibly some kind of ferry trip or otherwise being
       abroad? Only thing I recall is looking in a TV magazine for His
       Dark Materials info and them giving some weird explanation of
       what the "M" in "HDM" stands for, and my brother
       self-worshipping tiredly and then me taking his feet and
       intending on doing stuff too.
       Morning December 18th - forgotten, once again...
       Early morning December 19th - on the bright side, all this
       forgetting makes typing all of these up fairly easy-
       Early morning December 21st - a nice detailed one! First part
       was me approaching some school, and sneaking into some kind of
       outdoor lesson. Everybody was using Nintendo Switch Lites, so I
       took one and got a DS noise as I turned it on. I was then
       struggling to load up the right game(/programme), and I think
       wound up loading (or not) some kind of Frozen game at one point.
       I wound up sitting at a table with some others, and... took part
       in the class, I guess. This transitioned to me being in some
       kind of common room or reception area, in the evening. I was sat
       on some comfy leather seating, when Ash from EastEnders came
       over and snuggled up to me. Iqra (her girlfriend in the show)
       came up and was miffed by this. I wound up using the opposite
       names when referring to them. I then headed off and the area was
       my childhood school. I was looking for something or someone, and
       squeezed past some parents to head upstairs: before I could
       enter the upstairs landing, a load of kids came down the stairs
       in Christmas play costumes. The present teacher confirmed that
       whatever I was searching for wasn't there. Next thing I recall
       is being at the staff room area, and some guy trying to convince
       me that, like... something being dated 2003 made it more
       significant to me, or something... as though that year being my
       childhood made me appreciate the item more. Then Thanos showed
       up in a state of undress, and was getting possibly the same guy
       to repeatedly hit him, including kicks to the crotch. A kid with
       a backpack then showed up, and Thanos took out some scissors and
       told the guy to cut the backpack open. I got the sense that the
       next instruction was going to involve the kid and the
       scissors... fortunately, I woke up there.
       Now, another dream I remembered too late to be certain of the
       date of... presumably one of the numerous forgotten dreams
       above, but no idea which. All I recall is being in a lesson with
       my old Physics teacher, and a text book with a whale family
       image (either erroneous with seals and stuff, or showing
       prehistoric whales).
       Early morning December 22nd - began with Taskmaster Series 2,
       though in this episode, all of the contestants were replaced by
       one of their parents (and with Katherine Parkinson in the
       line-up). The potato-in-the-golf-hole task was being shown, with
       an older male competitor tried to use a truck to knock the
       potato (via the wheels). Then I was attempting it, and after
       completing it, and I commented on the garden looking nice before
       walking off and around the corner (I was in the area in front of
       the garage, so was heading to the area where the caravan is).
       Now it was my garden, and Johnny Vegas was tangled up in the
       washing line. Some fictitious neighbours commented on stuff, and
       I remarked to Vegas that he shouldn't be here as it's 2016 (as
       in that his series was 2020... proud of myself for getting the
       Series 2 broadcast year right in my dream-). We then went into
       my house, and I found that Mum had left some fried potatoes
       simmering for me. I did some other stuff indoors (forgotten
       now), before remembering the spuds and returning to them. They
       were cooking weirdly due to having been left for so long, and
       were cut weirdly which made it tricky for me to deal with them
       too and I couldn't get them to cook properly. Finally, there was
       an HDM bit with Lyra and Will, still going on in the house (I
       think I was seeing things as Lyra?) and with some other girl
       with a dćmon appearing outside the window.
       Early morning December 23rd - beats me m8-
       Early morning December 24th - one part at a cinema, watching a
       film (possibly an anime one), and there was a nerdy girl in an
       electronic wheelchair who was talking a lot. I then headed out
       of the theatre and... I think other stuff happened... Other part
       was a (Series 1) His Dark Materials episode, with Lyra putting
       herself in a guillotine, with the idea being that it'd give a
       currently-grim Lee a change of heart as he'd stop the blade from
       decapitating her.
       Early morning December 25th - all I recall is a seven-strong
       TARDIS crew including the Fugitive Doctor (not sure if she was
       the Doctor here or was travelling with Thirteen or whatever) and
       thinking that it was ridiculous to have a cast that big.
       Especially under Chibnall-
       Early morning December 26th - not certain if I even had a dream
       or not...
       Early morning December 27th - three portions here. First was me
       and others taking part in some sort of dinner dates... I recall
       departing with multiple people a couple of times, the first
       heading out of a door via where the bathroom is in my place, and
       the second actually having a bathroom there and me walking in on
       a couple of people. Another part (may have picked up straight
       after that, honestly) was me having some of my stuff taken away
       by bailiffs, including figures, books, and my jeans with my
       belt. A lot of the stuff was being taken from my cupboard. I was
       freaking out, understandably, and a few people including Toku
       Topics were trying to console me and help me figure out what to
       do next. I put on another pair of jeans but they were loose
       without a belt. Last part began with me looking out over this
       fenced-off field with a load of different types of birds in it.
       Then I was walking off down a road with Ed Gamble and his
       younger sister... we were talking about stuff, not sure exactly
       what, possibly discussing birds being dinosaurs... we passed a
       bush, and Ed and his sister seemingly fused together into some
       kind of giant, barefoot, red-skinned monster version of Ed. I
       ran, heading to some kind of music shop, but then crossed the
       road and headed down a path to what was supposed to be the
       Taskmaster house, but was instead a nice modern building. I
       entered, and James Acaster and Greg Davies were both there. ...
       there may have been a fourth part I totally forgot...
       Early morning December 28th - may have been part of below...
       only bit I recall is the callus on one of my feet coming away as
       some kind of material (neon blue and black, I believe).
       Morning December 28th - this was kind of fragmented as I kept
       waking up and falling asleep again... one part had a trailer for
       a sequel to The New Mutants, with the cast in cages and a
       voice-over taunting them or something. Main portion was trying
       to prepare to go on holiday, but there were a load of classmates
       in my room making preparing difficult. I went to try and open a
       drawer but it wouldn't, I think. May have also been a part on
       holiday... and possibly a bit involving a gameshow...?
       Right, will type up whatever final dreams I have on New Year's
       Eve, and hopefully I can keep this new trend of typing up on
       Monday nights going through the new year!

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning December 29th - only bit I'm sure of was me and
       several others heading along some... field or road, somewhat
       like part of the journey to Nan and Grandad's old place. I was
       thinking about some MHA spin-off manga - apparently a main one
       (or possibly the primary manga) was every other week, with some
       other one in the open weeks having replaced another one. This
       somehow related to - or became - some kind of song that I
       figured I could do in Musics on a Week 2, as part of that
       alternating pattern.
       Early morning December 30th - thanks to having rewatched Pokémon
       2000 earlier, this involved a Pokémon film! I was rooting about
       in the top drawer, and found some old stuff like a(/the?)
       portable CD player, and... possibly a CD (I guess DVD?) with a
       Pokémon film on it. I wound up playing it on the old TV: there
       was a scene or two with a girl seeking vengeance over the death
       of her dad, encountering and fighting a scientist outside a...
       train station or something.
       Morning December 30th - again, I feel details are missing... a
       childhood friend was over and we were chatting or messing about,
       and I think I also had stuff up on the computer (maybe
       feety/lewd and I didn't want her seeing them?). At one point she
       changed to a friend from Secondary school, and then I was trying
       to check if her birthday was today or imminent only to find it
       wasn't any time soon. I think she also jumped on my back at one
       point, not sure which girl she was at the time. Another part had
       me going to the theatre with my parents; we got out of the car
       and walked up to what was essentially the side of our local
       cinema, where I did my best to practice social distancing amidst
       the small queue (Dad didn't seem to care). We entered and went
       into the reception area, where we had to sign in. The form
       including an overly-complex survey about... how we got the
       tickets or our journey or how we felt about what we were going
       to see. The show was some kind of "Top 40 Hits" thing, possibly
       with actual performances. Davina McCall was hosting, and she
       showed up in the reception, telling us about the voting system
       and stuff. I believe the show was already underway.
       Early morning December 31st - really damn hazy... all I recall
       is some X-Men comic-related stuff. Possibly New Mutants/X-Force
       in particular, and/or early 00s stuff, I'm really not sure.
       May've been looking up info on issues in the bedroom? I
       faaaiiintly recall something about a big house too...

       Early morning January 1st - and in a great start to the year, I
       have absolutely no idea!
       Early morning January 2nd - main bit I recall was a news article
       about Ruta Gedmintas having been visited by a few people,
       including Jopari - the character, not Andrew Scott - and
       informed about... something.
       Early morning January 3rd - began at some kind of cool place...
       a blend of a big house and a sort of a tree-top habitation (like
       the Ewoks have). I don't remember a huge amount, I feel like
       there may have been some kind of plot, maybe some music
       involved... that or toys? Then I was going to attend some kind
       of online stream, maybe a CSToys one, but it wasn't ready to
       start yet or something, so I hit the desk and roared out in
       frustration. I then heard Mum sobbing, and then woke up briefly
       (the cat was meowing outside the bedroom, so Mum's sob/wail in
       the dream may have been a meow breaking through). When I fell
       asleep again, I had another dream about... something...
       Early morning January 4th - full details a little hazy, but we
       (the extended family) were going to have some kind of
       get-together... I was doing stuff in the bedroom, possibly
       trying to get ready, and there was part where my aunt was there
       trying to find a piece of art she'd done and which had wound up
       not in the greatest of condition (including a couple of portions
       where it had triangular prism shapes contorted into it because
       I'd used it to clean an object or something). I was trying to
       convince her that the damage was minor and could be sorted. Was
       also part where she was in the form of one of my cats, sat in
       the bath while I was on the toilet. ... I don't know-
       Morning January 4th - part with me walking along an altered
       version of one of the roads leading to Nan and Grandad's old
       place (a little earlier in the journey than in the December 29th
       dream), and winding up going to some kind of school thing... not
       sure if it was literally Year 7, or post-Year 13 (maybe as an
       alternative to university?), but I recall being in a classroom
       (basically like an Art or Tech room from my old school) with old
       classmates of mine. I thiiiink I may have had some figures in my
       backpack or something...?

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning January 5th 2021 - I had this huge awesome dream
       and wound up forgetting it...
       Morning January 5th 2021 - mostly the same as above, except for
       one part which had Mawaan Rizwan as a new member of the
       Impractical Jokers (possibly in place of either Sal or Murr),
       seen both on the streets and at a convention and seemingly being
       Welsh.
       Early morning January 6th - yet another Taskmaster dream, only
       this time it was myself and my two male classmates from A-Level
       Performing Arts as the competitors. The studio was also
       different, more colourful and elaborate. It was the final
       episode of the series and I was looking on-track to win. I wound
       up reading online discussion and found it interesting to think
       that these people knew us (clearly we weren't celebrities in the
       dream).
       Early morning January 7th - a school dream, which I think began
       in the library before a new period began. As I headed
       downstairs, I looked at my time-table only to find it was coded.
       I figured out that my first lesson was in one of the English
       classrooms (L18 to be precise), and headed up to the little
       landing area outside that room. A few other classmates showed up
       and then we entered what was a Creative Writing class taught by
       one of my favourite teachers. Not sure on the details of that
       lesson, but I feel there may have been bits of it that
       overlapped with this one other bit: me peering through a square
       hole in a wooden fence, trying to look for somebody but seeing a
       childhood classmate (obviously teen or adult like me) sunbathing
       either in a bikini or naked. She accused me of perving on her,
       and I tried to explain myself. Eventually (again, possibly in a
       second part of this segment intermingled with the classroom
       stuff) she told me about some incident in her past which caused
       her to be so cautious about being perved on.
       Morning January 7th - began with me at home, possibly in my
       room, looking at... something (possibly Beast
       Wars/Kingdom-related?)... then Tipping Point was playing on the
       bedroom TV, and I noted to my brother that the remaining
       contestant looked like a cross between two people... albeit
       bigger (I feel she may have become chubby only then, and wasn't
       again after that). Suddenly there was some alien
       creature/monster/villain thing in an alleyway, and it spawned
       some kind small mass of writhing tentacles, moving a little like
       an octopus... but which had the definition (and size) of a human
       head/face... and I believe eyes. It attempted to get into the
       studio where Tipping Point was being recorded, but then the
       perspective was my own and I headed inside, and recovered a
       bouquet of flowers (I think red roses) from the woman. I guess
       that was meant to be what the alien was after? I took them
       outside and walked a short distance before finding Barack Obama
       and another man getting out of a car. I handed the bouquet over,
       and then walked back the way I'd come with them. We soon got
       back to my road, and at that point I was walking and talking
       with Yoshi Sudarso. By the time we reached my gate, Brennan
       Mejia and Camille Hyde were with us too and talk moved onto the
       idea of me auditioning for Power Rangers. I shrugged off the
       idea, largely because of being balding (and eventually bald),
       and also called out my eyes as being bulging (maybe my mind
       connected bald and acting with Stephen Merchant for his role as
       Caliban?). Camille gave me a hug and said she always thinks of
       me as "eyelashes and teeth" or something along those lines...
       Early morning January 8th - can't recall with certainty if I
       even had one...
       Morning January 9th - not 100% sure on the order of these early
       parts, but I'd leant an old phone to an old friend of mine and
       was worried he'd find incriminating photos (apparently photos of
       myself that included feet-focus?). I spoke with a friend on
       Discord and he quoted the recent New Year's Doctor Who special
       (I figured from context), with me playing along as I didn't want
       to discuss it. The main part of the dream began with me trying
       to prepare a bath and various things getting in the way (maybe
       including the previous things?)... eventually, Dad went into the
       bathroom to use the toilet, but then popped his head out of the
       door asking me to do something for him. I snarked if I could get
       in the bath in return for doing it, and then realised he'd
       pulled the plug out and had to quickly put it back in. Then I
       was involved in some kind of production of Chitty Chitty Bang
       Bang, and we were preparing stuff and rehearsing some big scene
       with loads of white piping/tubing/scaffolding and flags/fabric
       in a field. Then I was in my parents' room, telling Mum how
       apparently my costume wasn't right somehow and remarking that I
       was so sick of all this stuff... I let out a groan of
       frustration which transitioned to me choking ever so slightly on
       my dry mouth as I woke back up. ... also there maaaay have been
       an Impractical Jokers-related bit somewhere...?
       Early morning January 10th - some part with exams and/or an
       American city-style street... main bit I remember was going into
       some house and winding up realising it was part of some horror
       or murder mystery story. The lights went out, and then I could
       see in night-vision or minimal lighting that, alongside the
       numerous people that were there, Greg Davies had entered
       somehow. He proceeded to kill at least one person before the
       lights came back on. Long story short, despite my expectations
       otherwise, I wound up being one of the few remaining survivors,
       at least until the point that I woke up. (May have also been
       something Turbo-related, either in the house or as a separate
       bit.)
       Morning January 10th - was set at Nan and Grandpa's place,
       beginning in the kitchen before moving into the living room.
       Grandpa was still alive and wearing a black facemask. The Lion
       King 2 was on TV, with some bit involving Kovu flying around
       with Kiara. This then transitioned to a live-action version,
       with Timon and Pumba there and Kovu interacting with a character
       played - in the flesh - by Famke Janssen. My brother recognised
       her, and then I was reading along with a book version of the
       film which was also The Subtle Knife... then, rather abruptly, a
       nuclear bomb was detonated in the film. What followed was a
       brief scene in extreme wide-shot with only Simba (looking more
       like his cartoon self) along with possible Pumba, laughing in a
       way that suggested he'd lost his mind following the event. That
       transitioned to the same shot at a later point with loads of
       animals, so I guess things turned out alright. Dad then declared
       it was time to leave, and as the others headed off, I was
       helping Grandpa with an iPad. We brought a playlist up, and it
       included an old version of The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I
       Get, to which I remarked that I knew a version by Longpigs
       (sorry, Morrissey-). I tried to find him a playlist to listen to
       (showing him how to use YouTube), and asked what he wanted,
       suggesting 60s only for him to say 50s. The playlist I brought
       up then began with Sweet Dreams by Eurhythmics, which I knew in
       the dream wasn't right. At this point, Mum returned, getting
       agitated about me needing to leave. I messed about with the
       iPad, which turned into packaging for a Transformers figure or
       something, albeit with lots of additional pieces like a Figma.
       As I was trying to get ready to leave, sorting out the bits and
       pieces, one of them came out and I wound up swallowing it
       somehow. It was stuck in my throat and I was choking, trying to
       gesture for Mum to pat my back and mouthing for help. She didn't
       get it, and so I focused on trying to cough it back up rather
       than swallowing it down.
       Early morning January 11th - details hazy now, all I recall is
       stuff with the Chasers from The Chase in a caravan and possibly
       a secret little cubby...

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Before anything else... I remembered a bit of one of the January
       5th dreams! I was heading away from school by travelling through
       bathrooms - possibly ones without doors - by somehow making my
       way through the shower drains.
       Morning January 12th - not sure on the earliest parts of this...
       possibly involved the radio? In any case, I was indoors, then
       headed out onto the street, making my way to the garage to get
       something. I was hit by a ball, and saw a mother and son in the
       garage. I tried looking for my brother, and found him in another
       garage; as I went to go and see him, some guy walked past and
       stuck his middle finger up at me. My brother insisted he hadn't
       thrown the ball, and then I went back to our own garage, where
       the mother and son were now asleep on a bed. I quietly moved
       past them, to some cupboards with toys on top of them. The first
       thing I saw was initially a Turbo Megazord somehow mixed with
       parts from the Galaxy Megazord, though as I got closer, it was
       just a cross-combo of Turbo and Rescue Zords. Then I saw a cross
       between the Red Dragon Thunderzord and Serpentera, with a figure
       riding on its back... I moved it so it was in a less-risky lying
       position further back, though that meant it was now
       face-planting the top of the cupboard. I grabbed BW Iguanus and
       something else and headed back inside, where a remix of Work by
       The Saturdays was playing. Maaay have been a little bit more at
       the end?
       Early morning January 13th - a His Dark Materials dream, which
       may have started with Will in some fashion but was predominantly
       the end of Northern Lights/Series 1. The first portion was on
       the far side of Asriel's window, where he fought off some wolves
       in an equally-snowy environment while I explained to Mum
       precisely what was going on. Then we were back on Lyra's world's
       side: Lyra and Mrs. Coulter were there, in some kind of dome
       with the arctic night sky on the ceiling. Lyra was mourning
       Roger, saying he was... three adjectives and then "dead",
       punctuated with "and" each time.
       Morning January 13th - began with me watching a Call Me Kevin
       video, and then I was grabbing magazines and an old annual or
       something (a little like this old Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
       one I have, where the cover's come off) before finding myself on
       the top deck of an open-top bus with my family, heading through
       the streets. I was struggling to keep hold of the stuff in my
       hands, so we relocated to... the top deck of a regular
       double-decker, while the magazine(s) and annual were now on the
       lower deck. We drove past the cinema, and then the bus was on
       tracks instead, switching to a different set of tracks and
       pulling up at an airport. The four of us got out and went into
       the airport, at which point I realised I'd left my stuff behind
       on the bus... apparently, on a previous bus, as we'd switched
       vehicles when we switched tracks. We were at the airport to see
       a play, and Dad and my brother went to check in while Mum and I
       chose a table to eat at (before the show, of course). Then all
       four of us were eating: I initially wasn't having anything, but
       then there was a big plate of chips which I was indulging in. A
       waitress appeared and informed my brother that the thing he was
       eating (possibly "a briquette"...) wasn't cooked properly,
       though she was singing what she was saying to the tune of the
       bridge of I Love Me Some Him. My brother had already bitten all
       around the edge of his food.
       Early morning January 14th - I've forgotten most of this now,
       unfortunately... I think I was at some kind of boarding school
       thing, one part had me showering, and there may have been a
       dog...
       Early morning January 15th - the loooong and wiiiindiiing
       dreeeaaam...! Not 100% certain on the order of this, but I think
       this is about right. The first bit I remember was being on a
       plane, watching the in-flight film. Then I was involved in some
       action-thriller, with some kind of meeting in the desert where
       somebody was shoved into a hole. I wound up going off with this
       cool (if a little scary) black guy, and then we were in a car
       and involved in some kind of shoot-off. Somebody in the front
       passenger seat of our car kept shooting my way, breaking my
       window. Another part involved The Chase, at some kind of cool
       house where the garden had a little bridge crossing a stream.
       Mark and Paul were stood at opposite ends of the bridge and...
       I'm not sure exactly what happened... One bit began with me and
       others (maybe picking up on the action-thriller bit, especially
       if that was after the Chase bit) entering a version of my old
       school, and it was Harry Potter-related, with Draco Malfoy
       showing up. Then I headed up some stairs (like in the Humanities
       department) and saw a cute redhead who was maybe a cross between
       Ginny Weasley and... I mean she saw sort of anime, specifically
       Hayate no Gotoku, but I don't think she was meant to be a
       particular character there. I was then seeing things from her
       perspective, heading up several flights of stairs to try and
       intercept somebody. She ended up in a large loft with lots of
       beds, and then a slightly older girl with silver hair entered.
       She proceeded to lick one of her feet (to a particular tune),
       before baring it to the redhead... who couldn't resist indulging
       too. <3 Then a HUD thing popped up on-screen showing icons of
       the silver-haired girl and a few others, with a girl with dark
       red hair and a name beginning with A who the girl was actually
       meant to be waiting for. Finally - pooossibly before the school
       bit - there was some kind of documentary about I'm A Celebrity
       (or some similar show Ant and Dec had been presenting for
       years), and it included snippets of 00s BBC shows that had been
       running concurrently, including a show from around 2003
       involving a robot which I recognised. This ended with several
       people in a field. There may have been more, but that was
       already a lot!
       Early morning January 16th - I was at Nan and Grandpa's,
       checking YouTube stuff on I think the iPad (maybe a phone), and
       I found a series of videos of Ed Gamble (with occasional help
       from James Acaster) presenting reviews of various Secondary
       schools, including one of the local ones. I was then checking if
       there was one on my old school.
       Early morning January 17th - ... there maaaay have been
       something Doctor Who-related? No idea.
       Early morning January 18th - was entirely focused on a TV show.
       I feel like it began with something His Dark Materials-related,
       then there was a thing with the guys from The Inbetweeners
       trying to enter a building of some kind in a foreign city at
       night (possibly with Jay lying as usual). At some point it
       became a 10-part Doctor Who run (in my mind, apparently 10
       episodes was small for Doctor Who), with a cool new title
       sequence like glowing white/grey shapes moving in black, though
       it was short and went into the show before the theme tune ended.
       I'm not sure how much Doctor Who stuff there actually was (this
       was episode 8 of 10, IIRC, which I was watching with Dad) before
       it involved a load of Power Rangers (including TJ as In Space
       Blue, I believe) fighting numerous huge monsters across the same
       city as before. ... I'm sure I dreamt up a little more lore or
       plot, but it's gone now...

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       What a set of dreams this past week!
       Early morning January 19th - the first part of this dream was
       relatively low-key: me browsing BIONICLE images that somebody
       had edited to assign every character their own element. There
       were four sets, including the Toa and Turaga... I noticed the
       green and blue characters of one set (I think the Turaga, though
       blue was basically a tweaked Lewa image) had the same element,
       but on double-checking, while Matau(?) was "Calm", the blue
       character was an acronym that looked similar but wasn't the
       same. Further down, Onua was labelled as the Toa of Darkness.
       The body of the dream, though, began in a Biology lesson, where
       I was initially sat next to that one d!ckhead guy. I don't
       recall much of our interactions though we seemed to be getting
       on. I then wound up sat nearer the front of the class (there was
       a big desk with a side part right in front of the teacher's
       desk), and I noticed one of my classmates had nothing on below
       the waist - I tried (or wanted) to take photos of her exposed
       butt and/or feet, to no avail. Returning to the other guy as the
       lesson came to an end, I got the sense he was in some ways
       keeping tabs on me (he may have been looking in my exercise
       book?). A teacher then came in merrily with a serving trolley
       full of alcohol in beakers. I found this suspicious, and headed
       outside, where I saw somebody with a monkey daemon. Next bit I
       recall was me and a couple of others breaking into this huge,
       busy lab in an attempt to bring an end to some shifty goings-on.
       Another... jump or forgotten part... later, there was a gay
       couple with daemons, as well as the Twelfth Doctor with a hare
       daemon like Hester, and all of us were heading into (this
       altered take on) the school in a further effort to stop the evil
       stuff.
       Morning January 19th - I was browsing Twitter and saw stuff
       about a new Billie Piper album having gained accolades (won an
       award or having been highlighted on a show). When I went to look
       specifically, multiple albums were being listed, including one
       by Paramore, and I began skimming to find any Billie-specific
       chatter. I did spy a tweet which transcribed an old letter the
       band had written prior to their first album, which misspelled
       "call" as "coll" or something.
       Early morning January 20th - first part is almost totally lost
       to me. Something where a cloaked narrator figure turned out to
       be some character or another. Even the stuff I do have clearer
       memory of is hazy and fragmentary, but aaaah... I was in a very
       small class, with just me, two girls in the year below (Year 12,
       while I was Year 13), and somebody else I don't recall. I was
       completely smitten with one of the girls, a brunette called
       Hannah. Another part was in (a room in) the Sixth Form Centre,
       basically a little lounge space with a computer, where Hannah
       was being cute and silly to amuse her friends. My brain then
       went to the trouble of pairing us up, but skipped any kind of
       lovely relationship stuff, instead going to me being back in the
       Languages block again, heading down the stairs while seeing a
       passive-aggressive text conversation between her and me some
       months into the relationship... because even my subconscious
       doesn't think I deserve to be happy... May have been more that
       totally escapes me.
       Early morning January 21st - began in an altered version of one
       of the local precinct's car-parks, where myself and others
       were... apparently planning to rob somebody via distraction?
       Somebody who was either a friend of mine or (a character played
       by) Sacha Baron Cohen got into the front passenger seat of a
       car, while I snuck into the back seat behind the driver. I was
       to sneak off with whatever while the other guy distracted the
       driver... but then he drove off with this stranger in the
       passenger seat. He went a little ways - basically two roads
       away, including down a hill. He parked up outside his house; my
       partner took hold of something in a conversational manner, while
       I snuck out some money, and then I sort of casually got out like
       that wouldn't be noticed while my partner left. We then began
       legging it up the hill road while he obviously knew what we'd
       done. ... then I was in the form of an RP character of mine, in
       bed, confessing to (his) Mum about the theft. May have been more
       but that's what I recall...
       Early morning January 22nd - firstly, a Two and a Half Men
       episode... I forget most of the details, but Charlie and Alan
       had an argument (what's new?), and then Charlie went off to
       another area and tended to a red sports car. The main part of
       the dream began with me going to university, where my dorm room
       was basically just a slightly-altered version of my bedroom
       (with the bunkbed rather than the separate beds) and I had three
       roommates. One point - which was presumably a Saturday night -
       had me preparing my Sunday dinner in advance (I think to avoid
       the roommates knowing?), putting fried (rather than roast)
       potatoes and pork chops on the cook... the next morning, the
       chops were burnt black, while the potatoes were still fine. I
       was also attending classes/lectures, in a hall conveniently
       right outside the room. There was also a bit that was set on a
       little island, meant to be a Jurassic Park thing but with Sir
       David Attenborough there making a speech and then dropping the
       megaphone he was using. Following this, I was heading back
       across the water in a little boat.
       ... there was a dream which had a bit in a cave (vaguely like
       the one in Call Me Kevin's Rust videos), not certain if it was
       early morning January 23rd or early morning January 24th. I
       think I had dreams on both, but that's the only thing I remember
       from either. (Leaning towards Jan 24th.)
       Early morning January 25th - not 100% sure on the order of these
       bits... first was me and Mum at the cinema, not sure what we saw
       but we were leaving... Another part had some kind of trailer for
       a Power Rangers thing, which had the In Space cast but was
       showing tweaked Mighty Morphin suits (possibly yellow trim on
       most of the suits and red trim on Black, ala Dynaman's suits?);
       I assumed they'd switch to the In Space suits later into the...
       film or show. The main portion began with me flying out to
       Japan, in a small plane (only two seats per row either side of
       the aisle rather than three). I had a drink, possibly Fanta in a
       McDonalds cup, and then we were flying fairly low over a city
       while I realised I didn't have the first clue on what to do. I
       wound up lining up outside an apartment building or something,
       where I met several old classmates. Heading inside, I entered my
       new accommodation for my stay, where there were loads of figures
       displayed on a set of drawers mostly reflecting my own
       collections. I only recall 90s X-Men Marvel Legends now,
       including two line-ups of the same cast (probably based on me
       still having my 2019 Gambit up as well the newer Retro one - I
       think they were both present here). Some of the classmates
       joined me as I commented on the figures...
       Morning January 25th(?) - I'm not certain when this happened,
       but I definitely woke up at one point, then fell asleep and
       managed to continue the same dream... broadly-speaking. The
       stuff in the apartment continued, one guy was reading a book,
       and then the idea came up to go out and eat (I think Hinagiku
       may have already been here at this point as one of the
       roommates). Then she and a few others - none of them now
       classmates - were out at a small restaurant... like, set up like
       a fish'n'chip shop or something, with seating at the counter. In
       a meta fashion, I wasn't present physically but my perspective
       of the scene was still my own, not like a camera external of me
       - I made a remark about having been left behind, which Hina
       heard, and then the guy next to her (with dark hair, possibly
       meant to be Marten from Questionable Content, for my sins...)
       did... something, to which I remarked that he'd only just
       realised. I believe I woke up again(?) here, due to my alarm,
       and managed to drift off again, having one last part that began
       with a comic page where there'd been an explosion and characters
       beyond the little group here were helping clear up, including a
       cute frazzled-looking brunette and... Renee... Plus a bit with a
       still image of a character who looked like old-body May leering
       over a big box, then what was meant to be the same character but
       was now a chibi version of Pawfeather's Razzy dashing about
       between holes in the roots of two big trees - going into one,
       coming out wearing jeans, then going into the other. And... not
       sure if it was before the waking up or after, with the
       restaurant miraculously back to normal after the explosion (or
       else the explosion was elsewhere), the chef who was previously
       Japanese but now maybe Elliot singing something to the tune of
       Abide With Me. I like the whiffs of "20-something Hina and
       assorted friends including me" that this dream provided.

       Early morning January 26th - multiple things here... I think
       there may have been some low-key party going on? Most of the
       dream was set in the bedroom, albeit the layout kept shifting
       around (I know at one point, the TV was on the wall-mounted
       shelf). One part had a non-specific online friend roleplaying in
       real-life as a futanari character (they were male but I think
       somehow physically a futa): they had their, err, member between
       their feet, and I nuzzled the combination... Was also part where
       a Christopher Hitchens-like character came into the room, and
       there were loads of alcoholic drinks on top of my brother's
       chest of drawers which we were looking through, me trying to
       find one that he approved of.
       Early morning January 27th - began with a made-up Beast Wars
       episode, I think meant as a season 3 one, which included some
       incident with Rattrap, and a character using an altered version
       of Cheetor's season 1 model interacting with Cheetor (who I
       think was Transmetal or even his original form, rather than
       Transmetal 2). Then I walked through a pub (in one door,
       through, out of another), where a class was being held. I began
       talking on the topic at hand, which appeared to be 'Heaven Sent'
       or a similar (fictitious) Capaldi-era Doctor Who episode: I
       remarked that there were no major issues, nothing significant to
       fault about it. One girl near the end of my path began bringing
       up about the Doctor using a microscope (as in a telescope, nice
       work brain), and I pointed out that the Doctor needed to use it
       to see a particular important planet. This quickly switched to
       me and my one-time crush sat on my parents' bed, with her
       starting to map out a black hole which was now what the Doctor
       had seen through the telescope. Finally, I was in a hall, kind
       of like one of the sports halls at the leisure centre next to my
       old school, and myself and two other guys were rehearsing stuff
       with Rekka, Nagare and Ikazuchi (my wielding Ikazuchi). A load
       of kids were brought in and we stood with our backs to them,
       before turning one-at-a-time and posing in time with music...
       though I was a little out of sync. We then had a talk with the
       kids: it seemed we were the lead actors in a US adaptation of
       Kamen Rider Saber, and that my character began as a villain
       before switching sides, as one boy asked me about what it was
       like to play a villain (I showed off my evil laugh). I was also
       asked about a particular monster, but didn't recognise the name,
       so I turned to a Japanese man who was there (I guess a Toei
       rep?) and asked who that was in Saber... I still didn't
       recognise them even with their Japanese name. Then a Drama
       lesson was about to start, so I got up and headed across the
       hall, where my class was sitting on the floor in front of a
       projector screen (or smartboard). That one-time crush was there,
       being playful with a boyfriend, licking his cheek but then
       licking mine too. Our teacher began playing us an episode of an
       American remake of Gimme Gimme Gimme, which had the
       Linda-analogue being an ordinary young woman and with some
       notable actor present as a third character alongside her and the
       Tom-analogue.
       Early morning January 28th - literally only recall a bit with
       Mum talking with somebody else, there was more but it's gone...
       Early morning January 29th - also gone...
       Early morning January 30th - forgotten too...
       Morning January 30th - aaaand this... maybe some bits will come
       back to me, but I'll doubt I'll be able to place which of these
       four dreams it was...
       Early morning January 31st - honestly, most of this is gone too,
       save for a bit of me reading a bio about G1 Wheelie where he was
       this badass warrior instead of his usual reviled self.
       Early morning February 1st - the world was ending, in short. A
       huge swathe of the population was dead, regular power was out,
       and I think there were zombies around. My family and I had
       relocated to another house nearby (which was set up exactly like
       our own). I feel there was more I'm forgetting, but I recall
       looking through a list of Evanescence songs, many of which I
       didn't immediately recognise, with I believe the intent to
       select some to be saved for record of our culture for future
       societies (I believe it wasn't going to purely be Evanescence
       songs, but y'know, getting them in there). There was an isolated
       generator at some place nearby which we intended on using to
       sustain the culture record. We received a text from an old Art
       teacher of mine, who wanted to join us for safety. When there
       was a knock at the door, I could tell it wasn't her, and
       cautiously opened it only to find Matt Lucas. I greeted him as
       he entered, and the teacher followed him in: I shook her hand,
       and greeted her with her first name, before remarking on being
       okay to call her that.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning February 2nd - honestly not 100% certain on the
       order of everything... one bit involved me bathing, another had
       us in a mix of a caravan park and a version of my old school,
       where I was sent out from our caravan to retrieve some pizzas
       (this is where the school bit came in, as the caravan they were
       in was not unlike one of the science labs). Then Mum and Dad
       went off somewhere, by train, and I wound up on the track trying
       to retrieve a hat... sort of hazy, I'm sure where was more I've
       forgotten...
       Early morning February 3rd - began with me wandering around,
       possibly in a forest initially, then through some hedges near a
       road not unlike an American route-through-nowhere (maaaay have
       been a bit involving car travel here, not sure). I encountered
       some kind of mustelid, not sure what else happened here. Then
       there was part where I was rearranging figures on my standing
       shelves. The top row was a weird dream mix of Gaim and Star
       Wars. On my wall-mounted shelf, I had figures of the big three
       Avengers and a fourth character, while hearing or reading a
       comment about the big three no longer being usable in the MCU
       and (IIRC) that it's a shame the other character wouldn't get to
       interact with them. This final bit maaaay have been after waking
       up and drifting off again... me on a train journey tying into
       the earlier bit, heading through snowy mountains before it
       changed to a much smaller vehicle heading through fields not
       unlike the ones at my old school, only it was meant to be a
       safari/savannah and there were cheetahs there.
       Early morning February 4th - began in the library, with me and
       some others messing with some phone which was an initial
       transformation device for ZenKaiser. I believe it drew power
       from the Sentai Gear remotely, and I registered that this would
       only be used for the first episode or two before he switched
       to... the Geartlinger or some fictitious device. Then as I
       was/we were leaving, I apologised to the librarian for my usual
       behaviour (in real life, my friends and I could be quite raucous
       in the library-), and headed off down the stairs. Some villain
       came running up, and I transformed into ZenKaiser to fight him
       (in this instance, he/I was a Rider rather than a Ranger). I'm
       not sure if these two bits were then directly connected, but I
       was by the Sixth Form Centre with Tosin Cole and somebody else,
       and a villain (I'm saying villain, I mean a criminal rather than
       a monster) attacked Tosin. The other person and I were unsure on
       what to deal with - I initially tackled the villain as he tried
       to run, before the other person took over and I tried to tend to
       Tosin, who may have already been dead. Then it was a load of us
       heading to what was meant to be our leavers do. I was chatting
       with a version of a classmate. One of my English teachers was
       with us too. We wound up going into a building and to this
       common room area with party lighting and I think some snacks,
       which was where we were going to have the party (and I think I
       also recognised was to be used for something else?). Then it was
       later, out on one of the local roads, and I was messing
       with/putting together something like a large Kinder Surprise
       toy. That one (version of a) classmate handed me something, and
       insisted I could keep it.
       Early morning February 5th - funnily enough, was about me being
       back at school after having left. Main stretch I remember was
       being in an original classroom vaguely like the ones in their
       own little detached blocks, a singular classroom in a raised
       space. I forget what we were studying but I believe it was a new
       teacher, though the English teacher in the other dream may have
       appeared too. Otherwise, details gone.
       Early morning/Morning February 6th - not sure which, and not
       sure on most of the dream as I feel there are bits I forgot...
       was watching TV with Dad, some Hololive stuff was being shown,
       and two girls (one American, one Japanese) were performing a
       song together. At the pre-chorus, it turned into See visionS (it
       may not have been immediately, may have just been a made-up song
       I recognised in the dream), and I pointed out that I knew it. I
       hummed along with the second verse. Then I was in some kind of
       secret base or something, possibly with an old classmate/friend,
       and there was a dog there... I dunno.
       Early morning February 7th - forgot...
       Early morning/Morning February 8th - again, interconnected
       dream, but I can't remember what... it was recent enough that it
       may come back to me, who knows...?
